France Announces Imminent Ban on Smoking ... Outdoors – Twitchy

It’s more than a little amusing how the rest of the world likes to lecture the United States about the ‘dictator’ Donald Trump, as they continue to cancel elections, imprison people for free speech, and impose other draconian restrictions on their citizens (while letting Islamic immigrants run wild). 





From Germany to Romania to the United Kingdom, the West in Europe sure seems to be rapidly falling, with a few bastions of sanity like Italy and Poland still standing up for freedom and national pride. 

But leave it to the French to try to enter the authoritarian fray in the silliest way possible, and one that is sure to backfire on them BIGLY. 

Yesterday, Agence France-Presse announced that France would soon be imposing smoking bans. 

This came as a surprise to us, since we naturally assumed that smoking was already banned in most buildings in Western nations, until we noticed that France is going a step further.

They are banning smoking OUTDOORS.

Yep. We’re sure that will go over just swimmingly with the citizens of France. 

AFP offered some additional details:

Catherine Vautrin, France’s Minister of Labour, Health, Solidarity, and Families, offered the following justification: 

The ban will come into force on 1 July and will include beaches, parks, public gardens, outside schools, bus stops and sports venues.

‘Tobacco must disappear where there are children,’ Vautrin said in an interview published by Ouest-France daily.

Vautrin added that ‘the freedom to smoke must end where the freedom of children to breathe fresh air begins.’

There is absolutely zero scientific evidence to support the idea that smoking outdoors where children might be around causes ‘secondhand smoke’ damage, so this ban isn’t about health. It’s only about one thing: forced behavior modification.

Vautrin confirmed this when she announced that police would enforce the bans, but she was counting on the French people to self-police themselves. 

Uhhh, yeah. About that …

The French LOVE to smoke. It is practically part of their national identity. 

The good news is, it may spark another French Revolution. 

Maybe if you want to make a French omelet, you have to break a few œufs. 

That was our first suspicion, but we’re pretty certain that illegals don’t care about children (and most of them love to smoke, too).





No, this just seems like the authoritarian nanny state run amok. 

We’re expecting a huge backlash of people defying this ridiculous ban. 

We can’t wait for crowds of smokers to storm Le Palais de l’Élysée, singing La Marseillaise … in very raspy, coughing voices. 

From a certain point of view … they ARE being held hostage. 

Oh, there are plenty of people in the U.S. who want to ban hamburgers. Bill Gates, for one. 

Fortunately, we have freedom of speech here, so we can mock PETA and the vegans relentlessly.

BAAAAHAHAHAHA. 

Hey, we didn’t say that French people are stinky. Mia did. 





Hopefully, they won’t ask us for help again. 

Nope. Not gonna happen.  

Sorry, France. The last time we came to your rescue, you responded by being snooty to Americans for the next 80 years. 

This time, you’re on your own.

But we WILL be rooting for you from across the pond against the woke tyrants who lead you. We might even light up a cigar in solidarity. 

Bonne chance, résistance.
